Just as every couple is different, what brings couples into couples therapy can vary widely as well. There are many benefits to trying couples counseling and you do not have to be at the brink of divorce in order to benefit. For example, you can improve how and when to communicate, learn about your and your partner’s “buttons” or “triggers” and how to best deal with them, recover from infidelity, protect your relationship from “outsiders” (i.e., in-laws, kids, jobs), learn how to address problems without feeling weak, understand how each partner may be contributing to a concern, and learn more about what is behind each other’s behavior.

Our therapists are trained in the most effective methods of couples counseling that ensures you are getting the right help to improve your relationship and feel equipped to navigate the future together. As mental health professionals, we believe it is vital to choose a treatment approach based on each individuals unique situation and preferences and to develop a clear and coherent plan of action early on in the treatment process to ensure the best outcomes for the relationship. We strive to be as transparent and collaborative as possible. We want our couples to be in control of their own treatment

Couples counseling and sex therapy are specialty areas of mine. I work with people in various stages of relationships, tackling a variety of concerns and dynamics including relational and sexual issues, infidelity, desire changes, lack of excitement, changes in the relationship, and many others. Having an objective third party helps couples find more clarity in their direction forward. I work with each couple to better identify the problematic patterns or behaviors in their relationship as this can be difficult to navigate without an objective third party. I help improve overall emotional and sexual intimacy, and provide clients with strategies they can use throughout their relationship.
